Roy Wilkins AuditoriumSt. Paul, MN

Lyrics
Johnny let his baby brother sleepThrough the back door and baseballAll the kids are waiting outsideOld days come and go too soonOld friends, heroes, lifetimesDon't let a single memory fade away
Song Origin
Not Clark Kent. The bag lady on the corner who might push a child out of the way of a bus — the whole idea being that heroes come from every walk of life.
